What is Colonoscopy?
It is a special technique for looking inside a part of an organ. The endoscope is a thin, long and flexible tube with a tiny video camera and light on one end. The image captured from the video camera is then shown on a TV monitor for a detailed view.
Endoscopy is a safe and effective way to examine the lining of organs such as the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Your doctor can pass tiny surgical tools through the scope to remove polyps or to take a sample of tissue.
